3D TRASAR Bio-Control
3D TRASAR Bio-Control is a proprietary Nalco technology for measurement and control of micro-
biological activity in open recirculating cooling water systems. 3D TRASAR Bio-Control uses a
fluorescent bio-reporter to probe the entire system
,
measuring both planktonic and sessile microbial
activity and feeding oxidizing biocides in response.
3D TRASAR Scale Control
3D Scale Control is a revolutionary way to manage scale stress in cooling systems. The 3D
TRASAR controller, coupled with an innovative “tagged” high stress polymer (essentially a barcode
attached to the polymer molecule) monitors the actual performance of the polymer as system stress
changes. 3D TRASAR Scale Control then takes corrective action through blowdown or chemical
inhibitor feed adjustments.
3D TRASAR System
The Nalco 3D TRASAR system is the most advanced water treatment control system on the market
today. It represents a total system approach, encompassing service, innovative chemistry, ad-
vanced software and sophisticated equipment, that allows you to manage stresses in cooling tower
systems on a continuous, ongoing basis.
3D TRASAR Configurator
A PC-based tool which interfaces with the 3D TRASAR controller. The 3D TRASAR Configurator
allows Nalco sales representatives to configure the controller, establish remote communications,
download data, update controller software, and change control methods.
3D TRASAR Optimizer
A PC-based tool which allows Nalco sales representatives to design basic cooling water programs,
evaluate program alternatives, and analyze the impact of controller or makeup water variables on
system performance.
Order Wizard
A PC-based tool which assists Nalco representatives with ordering 3D TRASAR chemicals, equip-
ment and service.
